Determined by fitting Jupiter observations directly in the timelines. Calculated from the main beam solid angle of the effective beam, . These values are used in the source extraction pipeline
White noise per pixel computed from half-ring difference maps. These values are within 1% of the white noise sensitivity computed directly on the timelines, taking into account the actual integration time represented in the maps.
Values derived from fitting noise spectra. Sum of the error on the estimation of the calibration constant (0.25 %) and the square root of the squared sum of the following errors: beam uncertainty; sidelobe convolution effect; and unknown systematics as measured from the power spectrum at (see Peak-to-peak difference between 99% and 1% quantities in the pixel value distributions from simulated maps (see
